'Our goal is to turn heads'

Former Love Island stars Kady McDermott and Joanna Chimonides open up to new about their love lives

- CHLOE ALEXANDROU

Kady McDermott and Joanna Chimonides have something pretty unusual in common – they both entered the Love Island villa in a quest for love. Although they appeared on different series – Kady in 2016 and Joanna in 2019 – the duo have become firm friends and have even created their own Christmas edit for Quiz.

“We were together shooting for two days and I can honestly say that Jo is the first person I’ve met who doesn’t annoy me at all,” Kady, 25, who left the villa with then boyfriend Scott Thomas, says. “We just help each other and keep each other on the right track,” Joanna, 24, adds.

Aside from gushing about their friendship, the duo also open up about their love lives during our chat. While Kady is in a relationship with former TOWIE star Myles Barnett, Jo says she’s single but is open to meeting someone, especially since she misses cuddles.

“Personality tops it all,” she says. “Someone with great banter, who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but someone who also isn’t afraid of showing affection.”
